Click the
Build
button. The build process begins, and its progress is reported in the output window.
When the build process is complete, a
Conversion completed
message appears in the output window, a link
to the build log file is provided, and the location of the
.msi
file is listed. For example:
Output file: C:\1516261\WinZip.msi
About the Context.msi File
When some Windows Installer packages are repackaged, some of their data (such as files or registry entries) are
excluded according to the normal Repackager exclusion settings. For example, files destined for the
\Windows\Installer
folder are typically excluded. However, this type of information is occasionally necessary in
order to successfully convert a Windows Installer package to a virtual package.
To address this issue, when Repackager builds a Windows Installer package, it now produces two
.msi
files:
packagename.msi
and
packagename.context.msi
.
